Deprecated packages in tidyverse:latest #35

Closed adrtod closed 7 years ago

adrtod commented 7 years ago

For instance the version of dplyr installed is 0.5.0 while the version on cran is 0.7.0. Apparently, that comes from the installation of bioconductor in the Dockerfile.

 && R -e "source('https://bioconductor.org/biocLite.R')" \

Why is bioconductor needed anyway?

eddelbuettel commented 7 years ago

Are you sure it is not just due to not having been rebuilt in the fewer than seven days since dplyr 0.7.0 was released?

adrtod commented 7 years ago

Yes that's right ;) Version 0.6.0 was out on may but never published on CRAN, hence my confusion. I just have to use the devel then!

@adrtod quick postscript:

re bioconductor: The tidyverse image includes all suggested as well as required dependencies of tidyverse and devtools. Since the latter suggests a bioconductor package we need those repos. There are of course no MRAN snapshots for bioconductor, since it already uses versioned releases based on the R version you're running. Like Dirk says this has nothing to do with dplyr ;-)

re rebuild dates: That's actually a good idea -- as you've noticed devel version is built nightly, but the other versions are only re-built once a month (they are mostly stable anyway so rebuilding is just a way to pick up security patches to old debian sources). But we can probably add latest to the nightly builds without issue.

re versions: no need to switch to devel just to get the latest dplyr; latest uses the RStudio CRAN mirror, not an MRAN mirror, so update.packages() or install.packages() on latest will set you right.

re dpylr 0.6.0: correct, in the new versioning scheme odd-numbered releases signify breaking changes, see https://blog.rstudio.org/2017/06/13/dplyr-0-7-0/. (Why the odd-number rule instead of http://semver.org/ I have no idea).

@cboettig things are very clear now, thanks!
